Molested by a family member throughout my childhood.. AMA.

Two parts, the second isn't a question

First of all: How are you? I read a few of the comments and your respective replies and I'm really sorry you had to go through that for years

Second, I'd really, REALLY love if you could trust your family/parents about this, I am a really proud older brother of a 16 and a 4 y/o and just the thought of them going through what you went through destroys me, and the only thing that could possibly make it worse is them not trusting me, their own oldest brother that loves them more than anything. Now I don't have any kids of my own and I don't know if you have older siblings but I'm pretty sure your parents feel the same about you.

Obviously I'm not trying to force you to do anything but if you could eventually bring yourself up to tell them I'd really love to know, if not for you for other possible future victims, I don't know if your cousin is in a relationship but if he is I bet his partner don't know about that side of him and it would be a complete shame if he ever had kids and did to them what they did to you
